Yesterday these two appeared, nice key fob piece 1oz pamp pendant. Although not the most inspiring QB design this falcon is pretty rare in a MS 70, only around 10% graded get a 70
 

That is the reason I'm buying these 2ozers in the slabbed form, the stuff from the RM is very hit & miss quality wise.

Recieved today. Some awesome ten ozer's and a few little one ozers. The stack keeps growing!

Freshly back from the graders, the jewels in my 2005 collection. 3 x 70 and consecutive grading numbers. Chances of it happening again, slim to say the least. Thanks @Numistacker. 😁😁😁
 

 

Here are Perth Mint's definition of Proofs Bu's and Specimen coins,I've added a few coins to hopefully clarify things,the proofs are all on the left of the photos
 
 
Proof Coin
The very highest quality collectable coin produced by The Perth Mint.  Featuring a proof finish comprising a highly-polished table with frosted and/or coloured design elements.
Bullion Coin
A mass produced coin primarily aimed at precious metal investors. Finished with shiny design elements on a frosted table.

Specimen Coin
A collectable coin akin to a bullion coin with a frosted table, but also featuring one or more special numismatic treatments, including colour, gilding, antiquing, or the insertion of gems.

RAM's interpretations of proof and Bu,s also known as UNC/uncirculated.
 
Proof
A carefully struck coin using special dies with either a mirror‑like or matt finish. These coins are especially struck and the term is not used to describe a well‑preserved circulating coin. Proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition or grade.
  Uncirculated (UNC)
Uncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following:
More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish, The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design. More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved. Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.

I hope this helps clarify things.

Lol don't I know it, but you come through the other side & good riddance  to her. Two great kids though so not all bad.

Easier said than done.

Having had a brief look at this thread, even the most disciplined entrepreneur with exceptional money management skills & hard assets(business, land, property,shares etc) has a 40% chance of failing to achieve financial independence in 10 years. Read Divorce, I became financially independent at 51 years of age although it took me 25 years to get there not 10.
Divorce shatters that so keep her sweet lol.

@ManWithNoName   Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you like them that's all that matters, I quite like them myself but I collect too much as it is ☺️

Cheers @kneehow2018

Just received the 1996, 1997 and 1998 proof sovereigns. Bought these from an Australian auction. They look great! 

1985 Half- eBay pickup 

10oz Scottsdale - from Mrscottsdale (first of a kind for me, such a cool item)
2017 Sov - from onlyroadtoheaven (fantastic price, could have priced it a lot higher so really good of him)
Thank you to you both,

No coins today!

Continuing my 2005 theme, the latest addition. My first gold 50p and even better in the hand.
Always on the lookout for world gold dated 2005.

 

Just picked this up for next to nothing.from a local antiques shop It's a later 5 shilling. But pretty cool

Managed to get an up to date set of the silver proof Queens Beasts series. The bullion are pretty, but these are absolutely stunning! 
Thanks to @Lr103 and @TheCoinConnection
